1 Chronicles 19:13
Be strong, and let us use our strength for our people and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to him.
Courage is being certain of the cause, but not the outcome. Even if you knew for a fact you would survive something dangerous, it would still require courage to walk into it, nut how much more so, when you experience life the way we all do, with the outcome in God's hands, but the present situation begging every ounce of courage and faith you can muster?
2 Samuel 15:21
Ittai answered the king, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be.”
Courage is counting the costs and then paying them. May God again produce a generation of men who are strong and use their strength for the sake of their families and their neighbors without knowing for certain how it will end, but certain in their resolve to see it to the end regardless.
